Seasonal food

One of Provence’s charms is the four distinctive seasons; and nowhere is this more evident than at the markets. Visit in autumn and you’ll eat figs and mushrooms while in spring, there’s asparagus, artichokes and the first strawberries. It’s a good reason for visiting at a different time each year. Here are some seasonal highlights.

Don’t forget that there are books in La Louche, such asProvence of Alain Ducassethat will help you find the best places to buy produce. We also send you a comprehensive guide to the best food and wine shops and markets in the area that you can read before you leave home. There's also a copy in the house.
